@PatchCarraggi Skipping ahead in time a few decades - the Grant bio by Chernow was outstanding. Also can't recommend highly enough the George Marshall bio by David Roll

A true legend in the history of broadcasting and local TV news. Primo figured prominently in the great Craig Allen book "News is People" (subtitle: "The Rise of Local TV News and the Fall of News from New York") https://t.co/gwGb5cVI3D

Being that it's Christmastime I decided to finally finish part two of Gary Giddins' biography of Bing Crosby. It's so authoritative and beautifully written that it reminded me of Robert Caro's LBJ books. Sure enough, look what I saw in the acknowledgments https://t.co/09xeBL6jHD https://t.co/k3IZkQxvn0

Been reading @CraigMWhitlock's new book "The Afghanistan Papers" ahead of tomorrow's Senate hearing on the issue that @SenJackReed will chair. It is bracing and depressing. Must-read for informed citizens.
